Head Units

#1 Post by Mad Mart »

Can anyone recommend a good, double din, head unit? It must have Sat. Nav. and a CD/DVD player.

I'm afraid I don't know what 'double din' is, but my latest Alfa has been fitted with an Alpine INE-S900R replacing the standard offering. It gives me all the functions I need and is by far the most user friendly system I've encountered. Only a single CD slot, but it hasn't held me back!

Double DIN is the same width but twice the height as a normal head unit.

Sorry, a bit late to the party!

I'd go for an Alpine unit, pricey, especially with sat nav but they do have a good resale value on eBay.

I bought a Pioneer Avic F80DAB in the end, c/w revering camera. Had it fitted on Wednesday. Had to upgrade my 10+ year old Samsung sgh-g600 though, so I could use Android Auto. :snivel:
